Amidst timeworn ruins, playful monkeys frolic and scheme, bringing a lively contrast to the echoes of history. These artworks capture the spirited energy of nature reclaiming the past, where mischievous primates weave their own stories among crumbling stone and creeping vines. A fusion of adventure and nostalgia, they invite the viewer into a world where curiosity reigns and the secrets of the past is never truly silent.

A soft, chalkiness texture emerges in Marcia's paintings formed by layers of texture creating a realistic view of depth and character. A technique unique to her work, Marcia Priestley' evokes an engaging narrative fluent with emotion using a powdered application with acrylic on canvas to create a serene viewing. Lyrical tones are sculptured and composed of longitudinal arrangements or pattern formation creating movement, body, texture & difference.

My work isn’t simply about the subjects I paint—it’s about the story each piece holds beneath the surface. Every gesture, figure, or motif is a vessel for something deeper: a narrative thread, a remembered feeling, a provocation. The concept drives the composition. I’m less interested in perfect likeness and more drawn to evoking something intangible—an atmosphere, a tension, a moment suspended in thought. Ultimately, I’m interested in building pieces with a strong sense of character—works that feel alive and invite the viewer into a layered, emotional world.
